Pressetext:
The first-ever collection of the original handwritten BEATLES’ lyrics.
This is the first-ever look at the original handwritten BEATLES lyrics – the definitive book about the BEATLES music.
For the BEATLES, writing songs was a process that could happen anytime and anywhere – songs might begin as a scribble on the back of an envelope, a napkin or on hotel stationery. These original documents have ended up in the hands of collectors and friends of the BEATLES, scattered across the orld in museums and universities. Never before has anyone attempted to track down and publish the original versions of the classic songs, many of which have never been published before.
Hunter Davies knew and worked with the BEATLES during their heyday, and wrote their first and only authorised biography. In this collection, he has tracked down and reproduced over 100 original hand-written manuscripts of their songs, mostly never seen before. From them we gain a unique insight into the remarkable creative process of the greatest songwriters of all time; what they were thinking, how they changed their minds, and then came up with the words which are now known the world over – complete with all the scribbles and crossings-out.
Each song is given its context: what the BEATLES were doing at the time, how and when they came to write and record it, how the original version differs from the final one. Almost every BEATLES song has a great story behind it, whether it is Yesterday, Eleanor Rigby or ‘Yellow Submarine’.
Many books have appeared about the Beatles, but in the end what really matters – and will always matter most – is their music. Their music comes out of their lives, just as their lives and emotions got reflected back into their music. The Beatles Lyrics is the story of their lives, as uniquely told through their music.
